Subject: [PATCH] appended signatures: parse PKCS#7 signedData and X.509
 certificates

This code allows us to parse:

 - PKCS#7 signedData messages. Only a single signerInfo is supported,
   which is all that the Linux sign-file utility supports creating
   out-of-the-box. Only RSA, SHA-256 and SHA-512 are supported.
   Any certificate embedded in the PKCS#7 message will be ignored.

 - X.509 certificates: at least enough to verify the signatures on the
   PKCS#7 messages. We expect that the certificates embedded in grub will
   be leaf certificates, not CA certificates. The parser enforces this.
